"Responder Ventures was a true partner for SceneDoc. Nathanial, Bryce and the team were a constant support, rolling up their sleeves far beyond their capital investment - channel development, industry introductions, communications are just a few areas where they went above and beyond. That said, I most admire their passion for advancing and modernizing public safety. I have yet to meet a team of folks who are as dedicated to supporting and accelerating public safety innovation as those from Responder. Personally, I look forward to working with them again in the future!"

Alex Kottor, Co-Founder

"Blueforce Development is proud to be a part of the Responder Ventures portfolio as we evolve the Blueforce intelligent edge IoT fusion platform for public safety and national security.
